Epsom Derby Trial

CROSSED BATON threw his name into the Derby picture by winning Epsom’s Derby Trial . A race that John Gosden has now won six times, including in 2017 with Cracksman, CROSSED BATON always seemingly looked in command under Frankie Dettori when holding the late thrust of My Lord and Master and the fast finishing Dee Ex Bee. We were moderately impressed by the son of Dansili and duly shortened him to 25/1 (from 33/1) for the most famous Classic of the lot.
